Yeah lol. There are definitely some oddities going on that I find hard to wrap my head around.

For example, last week this article was published on the same website and attributed to the same author. In the article, the author talks about the release of Fedora 41. The thing is, however, that Fedora 41 was released last October. Heck, Fedora 42 has been released for two months now. Like, why wouldn't they want to talk about Fedora 42 instead?

Hmm.

Maybe they're trying to do LLM-generated articles and are screwing up?

Problem is, some of the text doesn't seem like something that an AI would come up with. I mean, I can get minor errors, but describing an entire nonexistent init system without some kind of directive in that direction?

but describing an entire nonexistent init system without some kind of directive in that direction?

Someone else, i.e. the user called "notabot", had already made the following interesting observations:

  • rye is software that actually exists and is found within the repos
  • rye is written in rust
  • rye has an init command; rye init

I don't think it's too far-fetched to think that an LLM is aware of the above. But, it failed to understand what rye actually is and how its init command isn't competing with systemd.
